    Summary

    A Foreword by the Scholar Zuyen:

    It has been a long upheld truth of our great nation that after the twin falls of the disgraced Fire Lord Ozai and Princess Azula, and their subsequent imprisonments, neither of the two ever regained contact with our well-respected Fire Lord Zuko. While Fire Lord Zuko ensured the humane holding conditions of his estranged father and sister immediately after his ascension to the throne, he reportedly never saw a need to continue communications with them. Before writing this book, my answer to such an obvious statement would have been, "Blasting flames—well of course he didn't!" Now, though, my answer would be quite different. But best leave that til later.

    Fire Lord Zuko, when questioned about such matters, only ever gave one answer in response, saying: “A true leader has no need for snakes and scoundrels. Dragons are far superior.”

    Given his far more professional reply, it is no wonder that he was the fire lord and I am a less-than-humble scholar.

    Summary

    After fifteen-year-old Jason Todd claws his way out of his own grave, it’s not the League of Assassins that find him—but Father Michael.

    Jason never becomes a killer.

    Instead, he becomes a priest.

    Five years later, a grieving man unknowingly walks into the confessional of the child he lost.

    “Bless me, Father,” he says. “It’s been five years since I buried my son.”

    Jason recognizes the voice instantly.

    Or,

    A boy dies. A man rises. A prodigal son returns home.
